Analyst Urges Chiefs to Give Extension to Unnoticed But ‘Deserving’ Player | Heavy.com
But there’s another Chiefs player that has gone relatively unnoticed when Kansas City’s contract extension candidates are brought up, and Matt Conner of Arrowhead Addict is pounding the table for him publicly:

No, #Chiefs RT Jawaan Taylor was not "benched" after penalties per Andy Reid: "Well, I subbed out some guys. He also got hit in the mouth and got a cut in there that wasn’t feeling too good. He’ll be fine though."
Taylor re-entered the game for a bit after PTW/Donovan Smith left…
For the record, here is where Jawaan Taylor was lined up when he was flagged for his second penalty that wiped out the TD.
Taylor has to adapt to the refs, but this spotlight he has on him now is complete BS. Dude was doing the exact same thing last year in Jacksonville and nobody cared one bit.
#Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie says that missing half the season last year gave him a big chip on his shoulder coming into this year. He's focused on doing his job and proving he can make an impact.
Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce leaving Arrowhead together after the game. #Bears #ChiefsKingdom #NFL

Steve Spagnuolo impressed with new Chiefs defenders Charles Omenihu, Drue Tranquill
“They’re doing a great job,” Spagnuolo said. “They’re terrific, both of those guys are pros, real intelligent football players (and I’m) really happy with what they’ve done to this point and where they’re at. I’m glad we got them. I just think both of those guys elevate their positions and I think that gives us a lot.

I agree with Nick Wright – adding Hopkins might actually make the Chiefs worse than they would be without him, all things considered. Could the Chiefs win a Super Bowl with him? Yes. Could the Chiefs win the Super Bowl without him? Yes. Do some of the receivers on the team now have a higher upside than Hopkins? Yes. Will Hopkins realize he is in a place that he needs to sign a 1-year, prove-it contract? Unknown. Would Hopkins play for less money than MVS is getting? I think odds are slim. Is he better than Juju was for us last year? Not according to his historical performance. etc. I’ve already posted about this in detail so I won’t bother people by repeating it but, regardless of the contract $ it might take to sign him, I think the Chiefs will be better off, short term and long term, without him.
Now, if you really want to start something, talk about whether it would be a smart move to trade MVS. He is a competent receiver and I don’t hate him. And his contract is reasonable for the market and who he is: a second-tier WR and a second-tier salary. But I think we have players on the team right now who would be better than he is at his role. And we could use the $9 million to sign a solid, veteran DE. The Chiefs have spent the last few seasons getting younger, better, cheaper – nowhere more than at WR, spending two 2nd-round picks and a third, plus signing free agents. Not giving these guys targets is wasting their early, cheap years. Last year Moore got 33 targets, Toney got 17 targets, James got 0 targets and Rashee Rice got 0 targets. Signing Hopkins and keeping MVS means all those young receivers will split 50 targets between them – and that Hopkins will be mad at only getting 100 targets. I say have faith in the young guys, and Patrick Mahomes.
well put, Cotton. it’s gonna be interesting to see where he ends up. Still could be the Chiefs
Surprise AFC team emerging as favorites to win DeAndre Hopkins sweepstakes
Hopkins signing with the Cleveland Browns is considered a ‘strong possibility’ by league sources, via Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Signing with the Browns would have Hopkins catching passes from Deshaun Watson once again.
regardless of the contract $ it might take to sign him, I think the Chiefs will be better off, short term and long term, without him
100% agree, been saying it for awhile now
as for MVS: seen worse, and he’s our “Big Body” buy (until Rashee Rice proves himself at the NFL level
Bo ran like a man possessed
I’ll always remember him as a Royals player, hated him as a Raider . And as Snafu says: Fuck the Raiders..
Yannick Ngakoue Free Agent Landing Spots
